Official documentation for extant versions of Mandriva can be found at doc.mandriva.com.
Documentation for the latest release may take some time to appear there. You can install all the manuals from the main repository if you have Mandriva installed - files are prefixed mandriva-doc.

So you may have noticed the forum software has upgraded !!!
A few things that have changed.
We no longer have community blogs (was never really used)
We no longer have a portal page.
We can discuss this, and decide whether it is needed (It costs money)

ZFS Port to Linux ( all versions)

People have workarounds and solutions which are kind of 2nd tone replacements to work on Linux, but either ways, all these solutions are not really good replacements as they either are not stable enough or lack some of the salient features of ZFS.

KQ has ported ZFS to Linux and was a much awaited release since January 2010.

We are releasing the closed beta in last week of August/first week of September and are looking for closed beta customers who can test it for free on some environments.

I don't consider it spam. If someone writes something and wants to bring it to light on all the Linux forums then so be it. If it wasn't related to Linux, then I would agree that it's spam.

Checking the forum spam site for both IP and username doesn't show as a spammer. Until that time comes, the post will remain visible. We could all be accused for spam as we post linking to our own websites for our own written articles on how to do something, etc, etc, etc. That's no different to this.

That said with Linux I'm not interested in closed-source products, and so will never use this. There are much better filesystems for use than an unknown quantity. Btrfs has gone stable now apparently, and is blisteringly fast from what I've read in the past. Otherwise depending on my system, I'll stick with ext3, ext4 or jfs.

I partially agree with you, that's why I said "almost spam", I didn't mean that it should be removed.

There is a huge difference, this appears to be a 'hit and run', there is no dialogue, while when a regular of a forum (or even a newbie that wants to be a regular) post links to something Linux related on their personal web site they also do it to have a conversation about it, not purely to advertise their article.
